It's been months since my last post. I've been pre-occupied. Well, not exactly pre-occupied, really. Just lazy.
But I've been saving up, and I've got a list of things I'm going to comment on during the next few days, so stay tuned.
Today, it's the inordinate preoccupation with homeland security engulfing this nation. First thing is the term 'Homeland Security'. Man, I despise that phrase. It sounds like something out of the early twentieth-century, somewhere in an eastern-bloc client state, promulgated by a government controlled media.
What happened to suddenly turn the United States into 'the Homeland'? Only native Americans (in my opinion, the most abused segment of our population, by far) ought to be entitled to use that term, since anyone out of the Caucasian, Eurasian, Asian, Hispanic, or other ethnic origins ought, by right, to refer to their countries of origin as their homeland.
Furthermore, it's my personal belief that it would be better and more cost effective a war against terrorism, if we faced the terrorists on our own turf where:

Furthermore, it's my personal belief that it would be better and more cost effective a war against terrorism, if we faced the terrorists on our own turf where:
- they're outnumbered,
- isolated,
- have long lines of supply,
- intermittent communication with headquarters
- have no local support
- carry automatic weapons
- won't eat spareribs (a dead give-away)
…than to continue to fund the effort on foreign soil where all of that stuff I just listed (except the spareribs part) applies to US.
I'm 63 years old. Too old to be deployed against foreign forces, but not too old to send a few to Allah, where they're welcome to their martyrdom and their 70 virgins. I'd be more than happy to oblige any who care to show up in Birmingham, by ushering them off this mortal coil to their rightful place among the Muslim faithful.
I don't actually believe we ought to be pursuing the 'terrorists' in foreign lands. It only satisfies their need to single out the United States as the 'Great Satan'. I especially don't believe that there was ever any compelling reason to invade Iraq in 2003. Iraq had nothing to do with alQaeda and September 11, 2001.
The invasion of Iraq, (the entire fiction that the invasion was intended to 'free Iraq' from the oppressive administration of Saddam Hussein, to defend the United States and its allies against Weapons of Mass Destruction), is a product of Mr. Bush's overarching desire to assuage his family's obsession of getting even with Hussein for attempting to kill George H. W. Bush. Well, you don't have to wreak havoc on a whole nation to kill one guy, Dubya! Why not just challenge him to a good old Texas style gunfight at the Baghdad Corral?
Unfortunately for the thousands (now deceased) of our armed forces once deployed in Iraq, Mr. Bush had the power handed to him by the Supreme Court. The power to commit armed forces in an unjustified and preemptive war against a nation whose only offense against the United States was defiance and a vast underground storehouse of petroleum, which Bush coveted; it is evident on its face that Iraq's military capability posed absolutely no threat to the United States.
And now, what do we have?
An Iraq which, thanks to our invasion and the precision of our weapons delivery systems and the unmatched destructive power and deadliness of those munitions, could not effectively defend itself and its petroleum production and delivery assets against the third grade of Our Lady of Sorrows.
Another famous fiction loudly proclaimed by this war-loving, bring-it-on macho Bush White house is that we're helping the poor Iraqis in their quest for democracy. If there were ever any such quest, it must have been subliminal, because it never made the front pages over here, much less Baghdad.
I'm sick of George Bush. I'm sick of the entirely pugnacious foreign policy his administration has foisted on the world. Democracy HA! It's no more democracy than what Putin has in Russia. What Bush has done with this nation is criminal, depraved, and most of all insane.
And that, friends is the real problem.
The simple fact is this.
George W. Bush is certifiably insane, and thus not responsible for all the crap he's caused.
Worse than that is this.
We're more nuts than HE is because we saw it coming and let it happen.
Have a wonderful day, ya'll.
